古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 176 – I Have The Capability

She had secretly eavesdropped on the conversation happening inside the tavern. She had found out that Yu Dong have actually brought Li Hanjing and the others for a total of twenty golden taels!

This was like a fortune to her!

Ever since she was young her grandfather had treated her well but the thing was that he treated Yu Cheng even better.

Although her grandfather was stingy, he will always give her two mouthfuls extra stealthily behind the back of Yu Dong and her parents but he had never given her more than ten cooper coins for allowance.

All the money that her mother earned was skillfully added in the sum that her grandfather was saving for engaging a rich merchant\'s daughter to her brother.

With such a small allowance forget about buying Li Hanjing, she couldn\'t even buy a single strand of his hair. She thought that now that Li Hanjing was no longer a virgin and was soon going to become a daddy she will be able to buy him.

After all who will like a Mer who has lost his virginity? But before she could even save enough money and pursue Li Hanjing; Yu Dong had already made a move.

Yu Tong was reluctant her gaze drifted to Li Hanjing who was softly caressing his belly as he said something to Little Zumo who laughed at whatever Li Hanjing had told him.

Yu Tong was jealous she wanted to be the one who was laughing next to Li Hanjing. Not someone else … if she didn\'t hurry this time he will be snatched again from her.

So she looked at Yu Dong and while looking at Li Hanjing sideways. "Let me take him. I will take him home and take care of him. You don\'t have to worry about him -"

However before she could finish speaking she was interrupted by Yu Dong\'s laugh who was looking at her like she was a clown. Yu Dong\'s lips curled in a mocking smile as she looked at Yu Tong.

She didn\'t know whether to take pity on Yu Tong or whether to call her stupid. She was acting like a rich brat who was protected by her family for too long and cannot see the evils of the world.

"Yu Tong are you a fool or you are acting naive on purpose?" asked Yu Dong staring at Yu Tong ruefully. "I mean how can you even think about this? Do you hate Li Hanjing so much that you want him to die? How can you even come up with this idea?"

Yu Tong frowned her lips flattened as she glared at Yu Dong. "What nonsense are you speaking? When did I say that I want Hanjing to die? You asked whether or not I have the ability to feed and clothed him. I just told you that I can do that at my house. Do you think my family cannot afford extra chopsticks and bowl?"

Yu Tong has always despised Yu Dong. Not only because the latter looked at her like she was less than her but also because her Second Aunt and Uncle treated Yu Dong better than her mother and daddy.

Although they were nice to her but because her daddy had given birth to her brother her status in the family had dropped to the bottom.

She was treated well but not like Yu Dong who was treated like a Little Princess.

They were from the same family but their status has always been different and now that Yu Dong was better than her. Yu Tong still couldn\'t bring herself to admit that she was any less than her.

That she couldn\'t feed Li Hanjing while Yu Dong can. If she admitted it Yu Tong was afraid that she will lose all her face. But she also had a weak heart when it came to Li Hanjing she didn\'t want to lose him too.

Yu Dong raised her eyebrows as she looked at her. "Are you serious? And what about your daddy? And Grandpa? Do you think that they will let you do what you want to do without questioning your intentions? Will they accept Li Hanjing and his child? Sure, you can accept that but will your daddy accept that too? And don\'t forget you have always pretended that you always wanted to marry a rich Mer from the town. Li Hanjing wouldn\'t accept you either when you can\'t even give him a title. Trying to win his heart? Or take care of his child what right do you have to ask for him?"

Yu Dong paused then said. "I can do whatever I want because I have the ability to do so but you on the other hand -" She surveyed Yu Tong from head to toe as she lightheartedly commented. "You can\'t even buy Li Hanjing the pearl hairpin he is wearing right now. Which is to say that even his abilities are better than yours. He can raise his child better without you, nor does he have to suffer under your unreasonable parents and grandfather. Why would he jump in a fire pit then? What do you even have?"

"I like him." snapped Yu Tong her fist clenched on her side as she glared at Yu Dong.

She hated her and hated the reality slap that she has just given her. She knew she wasn\'t worthy of Li Hanjing but was there any need to slap the facts so hard and so ruthlessly in her face?

Yu Dong rubbed her chin and mused lightly. "If love and like was everything, why would everyone be working so hard on earning money?"

Immediately, Yu Tong was speechless.
